When we consider the 'star image' we must consider their function inside and out of the film and how they are represented to the public. These could be:
- Advertising - Magazines, Posters, Make-Up promotion
- Merchandising - Toys, costume replicas
Films can exhibit resolutions to real life problems and can shape and distort ideologies through contradictions within the narrative.
What is a flapper?
- A new breed of western woman 1920s who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behaviour.
- Flappers were seen as brash for wearing excessive makeup, drinking, treating sex in a casual manner, smoking, driving automobiles, and otherwise flouting social and sexual norms.
- In the United States, popular contempt for Prohibition was a factor in the rise of the flapper as well as the End of WWI, it was caused by the lack of men for women during the war period.
